Abstract
Lysyl oxidase highly purified from calf aorta was found to be a potent chemotactic agent for unstimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, determined in in vitro assays in Boyden chambers. A typical chemotactic bell-shaped curve was observed, with a maximal migratory response of 237% of control occurring at 10(-10) M lysyl oxidase. The chemotactic response was prevented by prior heat inactivation of the enzyme, by treatment of the enzyme with beta-aminopropionitrile or ethylenediamine, which are active site-directed inhibitors of lysyl oxidase, and by a competing, lysine-containing peptide substrate of lysyl oxidase. The chemoattractant response to lysyl oxidases was characterized by both chemokinetic and chemotactic components. These results raise the possibility that extracellular lysyl oxidase may have important roles to play in biology in addition to its established function in the crosslinking of elastin and collagen.

Abstract
The pentapeptide pepstatin was shown to be chemotactic for human neutrophils by two techniques: ED50 for chemotaxis was found to be 3 microM by the agarose method and 0.2 microM by the Boyden chamber technique. Pepstatin also induced superoxide radical generation, release of lysosomal enzymes, and a transient increase in intercellular adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels in a dose-dependent manner. Carbobenzoxy-phenylalanyl-methionine (CBZ-PM), which competitively inhibits formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) -induced neutrophil functions, also inhibited pepstatin-induced neutrophil function of superoxide generation in a dose-dependent fashion. Likewise, pepstatin inhibited the binding of [3H]FMLP to the cells. Furthermore, preincubation of neutrophils with suboptimal concentrations of FMLP or pepstatin diminished the cellular response toward either factor when tested for their chemotactic activity and for their ability to induce superoxide generation, to release granule enzymes, and to induce a transient increase in intracellular cAMP levels. The concentrations of pepstatin or FMLP tested had no effect on superoxide generation, granule enzyme release, or intracellular levels of cAMP on subsequent challenge with C5a; both of these factors, however, cross-deactivated the chemotactic response of the cells towards C5a. Similar results were observed when cells were preincubated with C5a and subsequently challenged with pepstatin or FMLP. These results suggest that FMLP and pepstatin interact with the same receptor molecules to activate human neutrophil functions. Furthermore, our data indicate that the deactivation of the neutrophil functions of superoxide production and granule enzyme release are receptor specific, but the heterologous deactivation of chemotaxis involves a postreceptor mechanism(s).

Abstract
Extracts of Onchocerca cervicalis, an equine parasite, were incubated with radiolabeled equine neutrophils and neutrophil migration was assessed for factors derived from the parasite itself or for host-derived factors after incubation of these same parasite extracts with equine serum. No stimulus for cell migration was observed in saline extracts of adult worms, uterine microfilariae, or skin microfilariae at any dosage tested. However, after incubation of saline extracts with fresh normal equine sera a marked stimulus for neutrophil migration was observed. Ablation of this biologic activity was noted if equine serum had been pretreated with 10 mM EDTA or heated at 50 and 56 degrees C for 30 min. However, if equine serum was treated with 10 mM EGTA, made 10 mM with respect to Mg2+ ions, no reduction in neutrophil migration was noted, thereby suggesting that the equine alternative complement pathway was the means of generating the serum-derived neutrophil migration stimulus. Preliminary gel filtration of the activated equine serum suggested that although there was a neutrophil stimulus associated with a C5a-like molecule, other complement or serum components could be involved.

Abstract
Human alpha-thrombin, the procoagulant activation product of prothrombin, elicits chemotaxis in human peripheral blood monocytes and several macrophagelike continuous cell lines, most notably J-774.2, but not in human peripheral blood granulocytes. alpha-Thrombin is effective in stimulating cell movement at concentrations ranging from 10(-10) to 10(-6) M but is optimally active at 10(-8) M. At the latter concentration, the degree of response is equivalent, on a molar basis, to that observed with the peptide formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine, (FMP). In contrast to thrombin, prothrombin produces a minimal chemotactic response in monocytes and J-774.2. Blockade of alpha-thrombin's active center with diisopropylfluorophosphate (DIP-F) or tryptic proteolysis of the procoagulant exosite (i.e., gamma-thrombin) fails to alter chemotactic activity. On the other hand, addition of equimolar amounts of antithrombin III (AT3) to alpha-thrombin reduces thrombin-mediated chemotaxis by 60%, and increased ratios of AT3 to enzyme completely suppress chemotaxis. We conclude that thrombin is a potent monocyte chemotaxin and that the domains in thrombin involved in stimulating cell movement are distinct from the catalytic site and the fibrin recognition exosite. These chemotactic domains appear to be sequestered in prothrombin and in the thrombin-AT3 complex and, as such, are unavailable to the chemotactic receptor on the monocyte cell membrane.

Abstract
The responses of isolated human peripheral neutrophils to either simultaneous or sequential additions of two chemotactic factors were studied. Simultaneous additions of formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (10-100 nM) and the fifth component of complement, C5a (1-10 microliters/ml), evoked partially additive responses of membrane depolarization as measured by the fluorescent dye 3,3'-dipropyl-thiocarbocyanine, a transient elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP), and superoxide (O2-) generation as assessed by ferricytochrome c reduction. Preincubation of the cells with either formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or C5a alone caused dose-dependent inhibition of the depolarization, the cAMP increase, and O2- release induced by a subsequent exposure to an optimal dose of the same stimulus, i.e., deactivation occurred. In contrast, when cells were treated with one chemotactic factor and then exposed to the other stimulus, the cells exhibited a normal response of peak depolarization, the rise in cAMP, and O2-0 production i.e., cross-deactivation failed to occur. The results imply that deactivation of these phenomena is stimulus specific. Further, these observations are consistent with the hypothesis that cross-deactivation of chemotaxis is mediated by one or more processes that are irrelevant to O2- generation, and that occur distal to the depolarization and cAMP steps in the sequence of neutrophil activation: possibly microtubule polymerization and orientation.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) chemotaxis was tested during exposure to leukocyte and platelet extracts, a variety of polyelectrolytes, inflammatory exudates, and bacterial products. The chemoattractants employed were either zymosan-activated serum or supernatant from autolyzed Staphylococcus aureus. Chemotaxis to both chemoattractants was markedly inhibited by leukocyte and platelet extracts; inflammatory exudates; anionic polyelectrolytes, DNA, hyaluronic acid, liquoid; and by cationic polyelectrolytes, histone, protamine base, protamine sulfate, and myeloperoxidase. Inhibition was also found with elastase, collagenase, pepstatin, and epsilon-amino-caproic acid. Bacterial products, such as lipoteichoic acid and lipopolysaccharides, and extracts of human dental plaque inhibited chemotaxis. No inhibition of chemotaxis was observed with heparin (< 10 micrograms/ml), chondroitin sulfate, phosphatidylethanolamine and phospatidylserine. Indeed, chondroitin sulfate markedly enhanced chemotaxis and antagonized the inhibitory effect of leukocyte or platelet extract. None of the agents employed was toxic to PMN as judged by trypan blue exclusion. These observations suggest that cationic polyelectrolytes and inflammatory exudates influence PMN surfaces, modifying interaction with chemoattractants. Assessment of the role of PMN chemotaxis in host defense against microbial invaders requires evaluation of the response in the presence of agents likely to be present in inflamed tissues.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to ascertain the relationship between complement-derived chemotactic factors and complement component 1 inactivator (C1INA) enhancement of neutrophil chemotaxis. Studies were also designed to determine whether the C1s- reactive or binding site on C1INA was functional in altering chemotactic responsiveness of neutrophilic leukocyes. Chemotaxis was assessed by determining cell migration in micropore filters. C1INA was found to enhance the chemotactic response to zymosan-activated plasma, C5a, and N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-phenylalanine and to bring the response of chemotactically deactivated cells to normal. In contrast, C1INA inhibited the chemotactic response to trypsin and EAC4oxy2-activated C3. Complexes of C1INA and C1s- failed to mediate the usual C1INA-enhanced response. Artificially produced C5-deficient plasma, when treated with zymosan, failed to support chemotaxis or to produce chemotactic deactivation. C1INA was without effect when this activated plasma was used as a source of chemotactic factors. We conclude from these data that C1INA enhancement of neutrophil chemotaxis to activated plasma is associated with C5-derived chemotactic fragments. The effects of C1INA are apparently related to the C1s- reactive or binding site(s) on the C1INA molecule. We suggest that C1INA may play a homeostatic role in neutrophil chemotaxis.

Abstract
Human peripheral blood neutrophils obtained from healthy adults were examined in vitro. We assessed the effects of sequential stepwise increases in the concentration of the chemotactic dipeptide N-formyl-l-methionyl-l-phenylalanine (f-Met-Phe) on neutrophil attachment to serum-coated glass, detachment from serum-coated glass and the distribution on the cell surface of binding sites for albumin-coated latex beads. The initial exposure to f-Met-Phe resulted in increased adhesiveness and binding of latex beads in a random pattern over the cell surface. The second exposure to f-Met-Phe resulted in decreased adherence, detachment of neutrophils from serum-coated glass, and movement of binding sites for latex beads to the uropod. Enhanced adhesiveness and redistribution of binding sites were blocked by 0.1 mM N-alpha-p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone, a concentration that did not reduce the change in cellular shape caused by f-Met-Phe. Cytochalasin B (5 mug/ml) blocked the redistribution of binding sites as well as the change in shape. The third exposure to f-Met-Phe was given along with the latex beads. The stimulus was stopped after 2 min by fixing cells in suspension with glutaraldehyde. If the third exposure was at a concentration higher than the second, the beads were bound in the region of the lamellipodia in 70% of the cells. If lower, binding to the lamellipodia was found in a significantly smaller proportion of cells (13%). The results support the concept that neutrophils develop a polarized distribution of f-Met-Phe-induced adhesion sites in response to increasing concentrations of f-Met-Phe, and these sites flow from the region of the lamellipodia to the uropod.

Abstract
Purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Veillonella incubated in normal rabbit serum was tested for chemotactic activity on rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in modified Boyden chambers. In doses above those giving optimal response (over-optimal dose), a decrease of the PMN migration activity was found. This decrease also correlated well with an increase in the migration inhibition of the PMNs as demonstrated with the capillary tube assay. The PMN chemotactic factor isolated from LPS-induced inflammatory exudate (LPS-CF) in rabbits, produced both a decrease in chemotactic response and a migration inhibition of PMNs in over-optimal doses. This inhibitory effect was not due to cytotoxicity, proved by the trypan blue exclusion test. Also, a reduced locomotion of PMNs first preincubated with chemoattractants and then reactivated, was shown when the same PMNs were restimulated to migration using the same chemoattractants. This was interpreted as a deactivation of the cells. A cross-deactivation was demonstrated between LPS-CF and casein. The results from the experiments reported show that the Boyden chamber may be used to disciminate directional chemotaxis and migration inhibition. It may also be concluded from the study that the reduced migration activity of PMNs at over-optimal doses of chemoattractants is not due to cytotoxicity, but most probably is caused by a deactivation of the cells.

Abstract
Preparations of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) chemotactic factor isolated from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory exudate in rabbits were immunogenic in guinea pigs. Complete fusion of the precipitation lines produced against anti-CF by LPS-CF (molecular weigth 16,000) and material eluted on Sephadex G-200 columns with molecular weights (MW) of 68,000, 16,000 and 7,000 was found. Also, the chemotactically active material with MW of 68,000 and 7,000 eluted on G-75 columns after fractionation of the fraction of MW 16,000 from the G-200 eluate was antigenically identical to LPS-CF in double diffusion in agar. Normal rabbit serum (NRS) incubated with LPS, LPS-induced wound chamber exudate and NRS alone gave lines of precipitation against the anti-LPS-CF sera identical to that of LPS-CF. The capacity of LPS-CF to attract PMNs was significantly higher than that of LPS, and a peak in the number of PMNs in the exudate of wound chambers implanted in rabbits was found 4 h after the local injection of LPS-CF. When injected intraperitoneally in C5 deficient mice, LPS-CF stimulated a PMN migration which was only slightly below that in C5 normal mice. Antisera to LPS-CF inhibited the chemotactic activity of LPS-CF as well as that of LPS-NRS when the supernatants were tested using the Boyden's technique. Also, preincubation of PMNs with LPS-CF suppressed the migration towards a chemotactic gradient of LPS-CF molecules of these PMNs.

Abstract
A factor with chemotactic properties for neutrophils and mononuclear cells was extracted from the lysosomal fraction of both human and rabbit neutrophils that had been allowed to phagocytose monosodium urate crystals. The chemotactic factor was found to be a glycoprotein with a mol wt of 8,400 daltons. The factor is heat labile and has chemotactic activity for human as well as rabbit cells. Preincubation of the cells with the urate induced chemotactic factor or with complement activated plasma prevents the cell from migrating chemotactically when challenged with either factor in the chemotactic chamber. The chemotactic factor induces release of lysosomal enzymes for cytochalasin B treated human neutrophils.

Abstract
Preferential eosinophil chemotactic activity is an in vitro and in vivo property of eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A), a mixture of two peptides, Val-Gly-Ser-Glu and Ala-Gly-Ser-Glu, isolated from extracts and anaphylactic diffusates of human lung tissue. Purified native and synthetic ECF-A share with the synthetic N-formyl methionyl peptides such features as in vitro activity in nanomolar amounts, high dose inhibition of effect and a requirement for hydrophobic amino acid residues. The capacity of the substituents of ECF-A, Val-Gly-Ser, Ala-Gly-Ser, and Gly-Ser-Glu to modulate eosinophil chemotaxis has permitted a preliminary functional characterization of an eosinophil surface receptor. The activity, specificity, and structural characteristics of the active tetrapeptides suggest that distinct interactions of the peptide with a stereospecific receptor on the eosinophil surface is required for chemotactic movement.
